The 3 Best Stocks in Healthcare

If you're looking for great investing opportunities, you really need to check out healthcare stocks. From biotech to health insurance to medical devices, there are plenty of solid choices. But which are the best stocks in healthcare?

To me, the best stocks in any industry are the ones that have the strongest growth prospects with the least level of risk associated with that growth. I reviewed many excellent stocks using this criteria, but eventually narrowed the list down to just a handful. Here's why Align Technology (NASDAQ: ALGN), Celgene (NASDAQ: CELG), and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX) are the three best stocks in healthcare in my view.
